R outineexercises Daily opening exercises serves as stress reliever of the participants. They always wait for the surprise energizer and they are all energetic in doing it. They are also very excited to watch the recap prepared by each group.

Activities The daily activities seems to be monotonous after the opening exercises the trainees will face their computer to do their tasks. Trainees must complete all output using required templates, after that they should take a computer based quiz and oral questioning before they will be allowed to move into another workstation. The training methodology used was Competency Based training. They were able to fully experience the methodology that they will utilize in teaching TechVoc Track. The first four workstations (WS) were Plan, Maintain, Supervise and Utilize. The trainers must be able to accomplish all output pass the computer based test and oral exams in the four workstations in order for them to move to the two remaining WS namely Facilitate and Conduct. In Facilitate WS the trainees/participants should be able to demonstrate the skills needed in directing a training. The trainees should be able to show the delivery process of Competency Based Training such as orientation, initial assestment, training proper etc. While in Conduct WS it details the requirements for organizing assessment activities, preparing the candidate, gathering and evaluating evidence, recording assessment outcomes and providing feedback. Additional facilitator Mrs. Noelina Ricafranca arrived on the third day of the training to assist the participants. Since the method used was CBT less discussion was imposed the trainees should read and understand the topics by themselves to be able to pass in the written and oral examination while at the same time accomplishing the required outputs. Independent learning was highly encouraged. Participants discovered a lot of things during the training and as the saying goes experience is the best teacher hence they really learned a lot. The training can be considered as time pressured thou for those who can finish the output earlier can move to other workstation. Most of them spent additional time at home to finish the outputs.

The participants learned how to use multimedia equipment specifically present a lesson through direct video footage; present lesson via film viewing method and utilize computer and multimedia technology to present a lesson The facilitators did their best to perform their duties. They plan, guide and manage the group event to ensure that the group's objectives were met effectively. They checked the outputs one by one and conduct oral questioning they ensures that resources required for assessment, as specified in the Evidence Guide and assessment tools, are obtained, checked and arrange within a safe and accessible assessment environment. They made sure that the skills required for a TRAINER are evident. There were no exemption to the rule all trainers were able to accomplished everything before receiving their certificates. The training is a very rigid training but the trainers acquired different skills, values and discipline. TM is different from other training the usual training typically teach the trainees what to do but TM shows how to do it.

P roblemsE ncountered There were 32 registered participants but as the training goes on some of them withdrawn maybe due to pressure and stress. Computer Literacy is a pre requisite of the program but since most of the teachers were not informed some of them were not

knowledgeable enough in basic computer operations. It is difficult for them to cope up since all outputs are computer and digital based. Despite of proper scheduling and even the facilitators used Activity Matrix, Progress and Achievement Chart there are still participants who were not able to beat the deadline they extended the time in order for everybody to finish the activities.

Continuing growth is very essential especially now a days that challenges lies ahead among teachers who are front liners of the journey of K to 12 enhanced Basic Education Curriculum.
